After 8 years of marriage Dov decided it was time to get a plastic cover to protect his tallis bag. While he was at work i unpacked our purchases and put dov's tallis bag inside his new cover. When he returned home Dov offered his thanks and commented how nice it looked. He followed his compliments with the following statement:
every morning i daven in the same shul, so why do i keep my tallis bag at home? because we were in and out of the hospital at a moments notice, so frequently. i never knew when i'd need it, and i didnt want to be stuck with out it. now, we've been out of the hospital for quite a few months, i no longer need to keep my tallis bag at home!
Dov's statements impacted me greatly. this really is a major turning point for us. true, we are still juggling all of the medications. and we are still in the slow process of weaning yossi off of prednisone. but yossi is tolerating the frequent changes nicely. and we are HOME in OUR HOME. our beloved cleaning lady was out sick last week and the house did not fall in utter chaos. because i am home, and i can take care of it.
when the clock changed yossi started to wake up at a normal hour again. now that several weeks and several dosage changes have past, yossi is sleeping late again. but its ok, because i can work while he sleeps. its ok bec we are home and not commuting to the hospital - an hour each way.
now im overloaded with deadlines at work and no matter how much i straigten up the house there is always something out of place. no matter how much laundry i do, it seems like its never finished.
LIFE IS BLESSEDLY MUNDANE!
